There is but one thing that we are here to do, and that is achieve Christship. That is our paramount mission. Our task, our service to the world, is secondary. Fidelity to the first requisite - our development of mastership - will bring us into the line of our service as a natural sequence. We must never forget that mastery has precedence over service, even though each of these expressions complements and strengthens the other. (pg. 29)
We should strive ever more loyally each day to live, not from the level of the human self, but rather from the consciousness that we are a point through which the Christ Spirit may radiate cleansing Life to all men. (pg. 129)
Our daily necessities are meditation, taking of nourishment, work willingly done, improvement of mind and body, and recreation. (pg 206)
God consciousness is the need and goal of our existence. (pg. 239)

The life and writings of Flower A. Newhouse are those of a Christian mystic, and her insights into the inner realms of life provide us with a path to wholeness that she called "Living the Life." These teachings are not doctrine, but a practical guide to the direct, immediate experience of God. Flower's mission was also to reawaken humanity to the reality of angels, a work she began with her first book in 1937, and added to in many published writings and in recorded lectures.
Dr. Stephen Isaac was a teacher, counselor, and consultant in various public schools, universities, and private industries. Dr. Isaac maintained a life-long interest in Questhaven Retreat, and Flower A. Newhouse, whom he met when he was ten years old. Ordained a minister in this work in 1952, he served as a regular speaker and as its director.
Phyllis Isaac resides on the grounds at Questhaven and has known Flower A. Newhouse since she was a child. She has been a life long student of her work and serves the Retreat as a minister, speaker, workshop coordinator, editor, and counselor.
